This is the client and protocol library for the Drizzle project.
The server, drizzled, will use this as for protocol library. Client
utilities and any new projects that require low-level protocol
communication (like proxies). Other language interfaces (PHP
extensions, Python DBI, Perl DBD, SWIG, ...) should be built off
of this library.
Cassandra is a highly scalable, eventually consistent, distributed,
structured key-value store. Cassandra brings together the distributed
systems technologies from Dynamo and the data model from Google's
BigTable. Like Dynamo, Cassandra is eventually consistent. Like
BigTable, Cassandra provides a ColumnFamily-based data model richer
than typical key/value systems.
Cassandra was open sourced by Facebook in 2008, where it was designed
by one of the authors of Amazon's Dynamo. In a lot of ways you can
think of Cassandra as Dynamo 2.0. Cassandra is in production use at
Facebook but is still under heavy development.
CassTcl provides a Tcl interface to the Cassandra database using DataStax
cpp-driver C/C++ API.
cegobridge is a tool to import/export database dumps into Cego, a
Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Currently it supports
MySQL, other database systems to import/export can be added.
Many more details are available at:
Drizzle Client & Protocol Library. This project
is for the new development of the MySQL compatible
C connector library called libdrizzle-redux.
libnvpair is a name-value pair library originating from Solaris
The nvpair library was released in OpenSolaris and has been extended
by the Illumos project. It exports a set of functions used for managing
name-value pairs. This is a base library for Solaris and its descendents.
However, the kernel-specific code has been removed thus libnvpair is
strictly meant for the userland. The XDR functionality has been masked
for now due to RPC differences between *BSD and Illumos.
